Kinderbesuche auf Intensivstationen: Was ist aus Perspektive der Krankenhaushygiene zu beachten?

Der Besuch von Kindern auf Intensivstationen, Intermediate-Care-Stationen und in Notaufnahmen hat aus psychosozialer Sicht in der Regel mehr Vorteile als Risiken. Aus hygienischer Sicht ist ein Kinderbesuch auf der Intensiv- und IMC-Station grundsätzlich möglich. Einheitliche Empfehlungen helfen Klinikmitarbeiter*innen, den Besuch von Kindern auf Intensivstationen als Bestandteil einer familienzentrierten Versorgung im Alltag umzusetzen.
